Michelle Outpolls Joe
2023-12-03
By Roger Simon

[Epoch Times] If you delve into the Just the News article, you find that according to a Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll, President Joe Biden easily laps every single potential Democrat competitor, announced or unannounced—from California Gov. Gavin Newsom to U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, even to former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and his own Vice President Kamala Harris—by numbers approaching or exceeding 2 to 1.

Except Michelle Obama, to whom President Biden is losing by 45 percent to 43 percent.

This is, of course, before the former first lady has announced her candidacy. One can only speculate what the numbers would be if she did, but it's highly likely that the gap would widen considerably.

Many think she never will announce, preferring her current cushy lifestyle replete with super luxurious Aspen ski vacations to the travails of the presidency.

Perhaps.

But the unremitting will to power, seemingly in danger of slipping away from the Democrats/Globalists in an international movement toward MAGA-style populism, cannot be overestimated.

President Biden, for reasons that may include immunity to prosecution, will undoubtedly resist, but no one, as most of us learn eventually, is indispensable.

"Rocky" and I both also agreed that this replacement would occur as late as possible to avoid scrutiny and/or rules questions, most likely on or about the Democratic National Convention in Chicago (an Obama stronghold) in late August 2024.

It's there that Ms. Obama will be hailed as the conquering heroine.

If I'm wrong, you can all check me then, and I will eat the traditional crow.

But more importantly, is the Republican Party prepared for such an eventuality?

Not if we're to believe Vivek Ramaswamy, who, at the third GOP presidential primary debate, called for the resignation of Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and, by implication, excoriated the RNC for choosing the almost absurdly biased-against-Republicans NBC to host the event.

The candidate/entrepreneur challenged the network’s Kristen Welker for two years of bald-faced lying about Trump—Russia collusion. (Smiling thinly, she said nothing.)

No matter what one might think about Mr. Ramaswamy’s many proposals, he was certainly spot on in this case. The RNC hasn't exactly been creative or in any way modern in its methodology, seeming to look backward to a Bush era that no longer exists, especially with the party’s own rank and file.
Sorry, I used to be able to get past the ET paywall by using the 12 foot ladder, but - no more.It looks like he's off Politico and PJ Media, over to ET.

#12  I think the real powers behind the Puppet Show see that if the 2024 elections are held and they haven't put Orange Man in Prison, they won't be able to cheat enough to repeat the 2020 steal.

We can dream, can't we?

#9  I think we can rule out Newsom at this point. This is a trial balloon for Michelle that will dead end as they realize that her excessive popularity in blue cities will not translate into electoral paydirt. Finally, Hillary will squirt out a self nomination that will be as popular as a Wednesday morning shart after a too indulgent Taco Tuesday. In the end, the will go with some new person that we haven’t learned to hate yet as Biden’s shelf life does not extend past May. Joe’s corruption info continues to be extruded slowly by Comer and Biden’s ability to complete a coherent sentence and not faceplant diminish.

#8  I am increasingly doubtful that Big Mike has been persuaded to take the job, and that the Puppet Show thinks they can drag their shambling imbecile across the finish line with Bunker Biden Redux. They are delusional, but the elements of Executive Power that Hunter and Jill can manipulate have kept Pelosi/Newsome somewhat at bay. The Overton Window for an alternative to Jojo is murky at best, but in any case, is closing quickly. Kamala sees her chance as the Cardboard Cutout is physically failing and will not get off the stage willingly. I think the real powers behind the Puppet Show see that if the 2024 elections are held and they haven't put Orange Man in Prison, they won't be able to cheat enough to repeat the 2020 steal.

#7  Why anyone would think someone just living in the White House qualifies them to be president is beyond me.
Of course, this would be Barry's fourth term.

#3  In the last week there have been a spate of "too late to replace Joe" articles, talking about primary deadlines and such. As if the party that replaced Toricelli after the deadline had passed cares about such trifles.
